Lexington police are investigating alleged ticket fraud after one University of Kentucky basketball fan filed a complaint that she was sold fake tickets to Tuesday's game against Texas A&M. Others made the same claim on social media.

Sherrelle Roberts, a police spokeswoman, said the only fan who has filed an official report bought "what she thought were legitimate Kentucky basketball tickets" on the secondary market but was turned away at the game, informed that she'd been duped.
